LG DLEX8980V Mega-Capacity Dryer Repair

LG dryer

Most common issues on this model

  1. Airflow through a 9.0 cu. ft. drum
  2. FlowSense indicators
  3. TurboSteam water feed
  4. ThinQ connection and alerts

DLEX8980V, a current LG front load electric dryer, has a 9.0 cu. ft. mega capacity drum. It includes TurboSteam, AI-selected dry settings, ThinQ app functions with ThinQ Care alerts, and FlowSense indicators for duct clogging and the lint filter.

Large drums need strong airflow, so we put the vent first. We clean the filter, inspect the duct for crushed bends and lint, and measure the air at the machine. FlowSense warnings that continue after cleaning lead us to the sensing path. Wet loads with good airflow lead us to the heating circuit.

Steam refresh cycles without steam point to the hose, screen and inlet valve. We read the model and serial from the label before ordering anything and give you the price in writing first.

DLEX8980VDLEX8980V questions
Do larger dryers use a bigger vent?

The vent size follows the installation requirements for the model, not the drum alone. We check that the existing duct is clear and not crushed, and suggest changes if the run is too long.

Why does FlowSense keep warning after I cleaned the filter?

The restriction may be further along the duct, or the sensing path may have failed. We measure airflow at the machine and at the outside hood to find out.

What does ThinQ Care do on this dryer?

It sends alerts to the app about the dryer condition. If alerts stop arriving, we check the network link first and the dryer electronics second.
